Steve on the FA of Quartz Caterpillar

Description 

(Previously known as "Boulder 1")

This boulder is about 10 feet tall and loaded with small crimps and bad feet. overhanging and full of hard problem potential.

Getting There 

If you walk straight up to the jutting rock by the road, you will likely see the Thing Boulder (boulder 1), but in mid-summer you may not be able to see this, so just walk straight back from the jutting rock and you will walk right to it.
if you follow the small deer trail up and left, then when you reach the top of the hill from the road, walk to the right to the jutting rock and follow the previous directions.
